Graphing AA this weekend: New Hampshire @ Altoona

I'm going to be trying to get the obvious (Tabata, Arencibia, Negrych) on ROMLB. The others I may just get on my custom cards. Here's the question for you guys though: Off hand, who out of these guys has cards already? Who is worth making a custom A&G card? The others I will just use a custom template.

I listed a card that I had sent off, so that might help you.
DANNY

Awesome! Thank you so much Danny!

As for the coaches:
Dave LaRoche - basically 71T to 83T
Brad Holman - a bunch of 1994 issues

If you need some cards of Dave LaRoche send me a PM and I'll drop them in the mail tomorrow for you. I pulled some out last year for a Bowie/New Hampshire game but ended up on the Bowie side.

I was out to Altoona earlier in the season, though the roster has changed a good bit since then. It seemed like a great environment for autos and the players were very friendly and talkative. I'm planning on heading out there this weekend to see Tabata, so let me know how the graphing goes.

BTW, it might be easier to just pick up a Curve team set at the stadium rather than making all the customs yourself.

I'm going to pick up the team set and also the 10th Anniversary set. (I think it's the 10th)

Mike, some things that may be of interest for you...

All team sets are $2 off this homestand. The 10th Anniversary set is $3 and the team set is $8.
NH looked to be very good signers. I'd suggest going on the side of the dugout down the line. The Curve didn't seem to be signing much, and I was the only one trying to get autos on that side. I was able to get Negrych after he finished talking to what appeared to be family/friends, and Brad Corley walked right past me when I asked him to sign.

Overall it was a pretty good experience, but I hope you have better luck than I did.

Thanks for the info! I'm definitely going to be picking up both sets. I'll probably hang around the NH side since my cousin is the Assistant GM of the Jays, I'm sure some of the guys will recognize his name. Hopefully I can get J.P. on a baseball.

Thanks again!

Mike

J.P. was the first guy signing yesterday, so I'd suggest getting a spot along the rail early, if you can. Good luck!

Along the rail a little past the dugout, just like Pirate games?

Basically the same. At BCB you can actually get right up next to the dugout, so you don't need to go as far down the line.

Alright nice. What time would you suggest getting there?

I'd say anywhere around an hour before game time would be ample time to get autos. You might want to leave a little extra time to get there though, since there's a lot of construction along 22.

Alright. Thanks for all your help! I'll report back here as soon as I get back!

No problem. Hope you enjoy the game!
